The project is a compilation of images and text, created by tutors and participants of two photographic workshops held in 2013: the bdp (bookdummypress) Workshop and Handmade Photobook Workshop "A Handmade photobook is like a diamond in the rough". Both workshops have one common theme "scenes of incidents reported in newspaper articles". Participants researched events of their choice, and then visited the site and photographed their interpretation of it.
